Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington will miss the remainder of the 2025 season due to health issues.

The Angels have named Ray Montgomery as the interim manager and Ryan Goins will replace him as bench coach for the season.

General manager Perry Minasian is set to speak to the media Friday afternoon. The Angels conducted a team meeting Friday, likely to discuss the news of Washington remaining on medical leave for the rest of the year.

On June 20, the Angels announced Washington would be out indefinitely because of health concerns.

“Health is the most important thing," Minasian said at last Friday's press conference. "I’m not letting him manage until he’s 100%. Wash will be around, but he won’t be in the dugout.”

A week later, it's now confirmed Washington will be unable to complete his second year as the Angels' skipper.

The 73-year-old has played, coached, or managed at some level of professional baseball since 1977 so the latest news is certainly heartbreaking. It is worthy to note that Washington’s contract has a club option for 2026.

Last season, the Angels went 63-99 but have made significant strides in 2025. The Halos are looking to be over .500 with a win over the Washington Nationals Friday night. The Angels are just one game back of a playoff spot.
